Since the Kentucky community college network has been in operation for several years, it was felt that a study of the current status and dimensions of that network would be useful in developing guidelines for future development. After visits to each of the schools and study of related data, it was noted that the community colleges are closely associated with higher institutions offering the baccalaureate degree and that very little federal money has been used for occupational programs. Recommendations based on the findings include broadening the scope of the community colleges to include programs for occupational education and the creation of an agency to coordinate the growth and development of the system. The study makes special mention of the state-wide public support for the community college concept. (JS)
